Please let me know about bugs in unit 7. I already know about the one where links to the next lesson open up in a window-within-a-window

Full update list

Changed the tilt clips for the U7 KC and test – the old clips had too subtle of a difference between tilt and pan. The new clips are more clearly tilt and can’t be confused as pedestal by students who know the difference

Added lots of additional sample videos to unit 7 modules, especially in U7b, u7c, and u7d. This helps students get the hang of recognizing the different shots. These new samples are also using a new, more interactive kind of slide intended for active learning

Added additional quiz questions throughout unit 7 tutorials to give students a chance to practice before taking the KC and test

Added more sample videos to U7 KC and test to give students additional practice at identifying shots

Students should get better scores now on the U7 test after all of this additional reinforcement

Added “next lesson” and “previous lesson” feature to first and last page of every tutorial to make site navigation easier. This is the number one most requested feature. I still need to fix a bug where these links doesn’t work correctly

Simplified interface for a cleaner look

New interface is built on 100% HTML 5, which should make the tutorials compatible with all devices (including iOS) and with all web browsers

New interface has three aspect ratios that load dynamically based on device width and height, allowing the new lessons to work natively on mobile devices

New interface fixes the glitch that caused cell phone layout to be cut off on many lessons

New interface fixes the glitch that caused some pages to appear on top of each other on some devices and in some aspect ratios

New interface is standardized across all lesson types for greater consistency

Videos are now stored on YouTube for a dramatically lower server load, with an option to watch the original videos for schools where YouTube is blocked

YouTube videos are now close captioned for the hearing impaired, making the site handicapped accessible in accordance with section 508 for public education websites

More options for navigating within tutorials

Added left and right arrow keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation within tutorials

Standardized all tutorial screens for shorter screen time to eliminate built-in pauses on many lesson screens

Added feedback button to milestone page of every tutorial to make it easier for users to report glitches, omissions, and bugs

Standardized layout of all KC and test questions

Tweaked layout of knowledge checks and tests so that review feedback fits on the screen better

Fixed layouts on all 3 KC and test question screen layouts (for using on cell phones)
